ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE CONTACT INCLUDING BIFURCATE CONTACT ARMS WITH TORSION INHIBITORS

摘要

593646 An electrically conductive contact for electrically connecting an insulated conductor to an electrically conductive track of a printed circuit board, including: (a) bifurcate contact arms (46a, 46b) extending from a common section (48) of a contact (24), an open end section (50) of the contact arms being adapted to receive an end section of the insulated conductor (56), pierce the insulation and effect electrical connection therewith; and (b) a fastener (52) for electrically coupling the contact to the track of the printed circuit board. The arms include torsion inhibitors (54) for resiliently inhibiting movement of the arms about respective axes (ALDAI; ALDA2) when the insulated conductor is forced therebetween.
